Editing process

We discussed some changes which we could do, they are about the color (black and white) and how the change over is working from old 60's style to modern. They told us to do statis shots, movement in the frame also when the girl is getting ready we should do a reflection in the morrow over the shoulder shot. Everything around her is colorful like for example she herself and her bedroom. When she is passing the coridor everthing turn colorful, suddenly the door opens and you can see this girl she and everthing around colorful people inside are still black and white. When she is passing the audience she puts a girls top off and she gets colorful, people around see it and start to take their clothes off they turn then colourful as well. Now we have the idea of 1 min 60's style then 23 sec. change over and 1 min. in the modern studio.
At 2.30 we cut our everything. Because it will not suit to our idea anymore. After everything is modern we work with a black curtains but very modern lights (colorful lights). All the audience member are running on stage now and doing the change over not only the girl anymore. We will also have the man now which won't let the girl get inside. Our posters will have frames now because this was usual in the 60's.

In the last lesson we finished editing our storyboards and putting them onto the timeline. We perfectioned the bits that weren't good and played it over and over searching for possible mistakes. Then we proposed the idea and showed it to our teachers to figure out whether they were happy with the end result as well, as we changed the whole thing around quite a bit and also left some shots out. Luke said that there were some things he still didn't like, as for example the shots of her putting on make-up, the fact that we cut out the bit where she enters the club and there are two bodyguards in front of the door, the fact that the changing around of the band takes too long and the audience becoming modern because they felt it was too boring.

Basically they wanted us to have shots of Paula getting ready in colour, probably in over-the-shoulder shots, and more about in her bedroom than actually in her mirror. Furthermore we should think of a way how to change the audience more interesting than just touching them. An idea that had been proposed was that Paula could rip of the audiences clothes and underneath there would be colorful stuff and then suddenly, as we do not have enough time, the audience would start changing themselves and figuring out that they have colorful clothes underneath as well. Also, as the song is about 3 minutes they said that we should put in a break at 2:30 and then the first minute (up to the change of sound) would be in the 60's style with colour cut-aways - then 23 seconds in the break of changing the band around, however also the audience members would come on stage as well and help, as we don't have enough time and the instruments and everything else needs to be changed around as well as the styling make-over.
Then the last minute of the song would be completely modern.
